Kulkarni1 1Centre for Materials Science, School of Physical Sciences and Computing, University of Central Lancashire, 2School of Food Science & Nutrition, University of Leeds We report on a smart application of carbon nanotubes for kinetic stabilization of lipid particles that contain self-assembled nanostructures in their cores. The preparation of lipid particles requires rather low concentrations of carbon nanotubes permitting their use in biomedical applications such as drug delivery.
